VIDEO: Ready to Pay to Play: Candidate #5, Jesse Jackson Jr. Fingered - Chicago Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., is the anonymous "Senate Candidate No. 5" whose emissaries Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich reportedly offered up to $1 million to name him to the U.S. Senate, federal law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
The politician says he is not a target of the Blagojevich investigation.
According to the FBI affidavit in the case, Blagojevich "stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided Rod Blagojevich" with something "tangible up front."
Jackson said this morning he was contacted Tuesday by federal prosecutors in Chicago whom he said "asked me to come in and share with them my insights and thoughts about the selection process."
Jackson said, "I don't know" when asked whether he was Candidate No. 5, but said he was told "I am not a target of this investigation."
Jackson said he agreed to talk with federal investigators "as quickly as possible" after he consulted with a lawyer.

The jewscasters spend well
The jewscasters spend well over a quarter of the clip praising Jesse Jackal Jr. and licking his toes (the last quarter). If such total wimps and antis feel compelled to report on this scandal, then it must be huge and undeniable. Their frantic statements that "no audio tape exists - absolutely no audio recording exists" is bullshit: prosecutors don't need an audio tape to prove anyone's guilt, just believable testimony and circumstantial evidence. Of course, the jig masses will chimp out on a continental scale if Jackal Jr. is jugged, because now they have a jew-provided mantra: "DEY NEBER HAD NO AUDIO TAPE, SHEEIT!" Nuke Nigger Chicago.
